    Preira fought smart..When fighting a guy like Roundtree who is explosive, fast and powerful, most smart fighters will bait them into throwing shots and getting out of the way, until some of that speed and power degrades, and is less dangerous..And then systematically break them down, which is exactly what Pereira did..

    I think Pereira beats Ankalaev. Ank isn't the type of guy to to blitz in like Rountree which is what gave Pereira problems, he usually keeps it a more technical kickboxing fight on the feet. And on the ground he never finishes people. Not to mention Alex has proven to still be an effective striker with the takedown threat as seen in the Jan Blachowicz fight.

    I might catch some slack for it, but it was painful to watch Rountree get CTE'd into oblivion in the final minutes of the fight. I know you guys love finishes, but the guy didn't deserve the damage. I think the towel should have been thrown. Great performance from Rountree and a complete dismantling domination by the champ.

  • @Carmeniooptc
    @Carmeniooptc Місяць тому +2

    Pereira showed levels in this. Very often it happends with KO artist that when the KO doesn’t happen early, they start getting anxious and frustrated and start committing mistakes. Alex showed patience and even tho he was bested in the first few rounds, he was putting up investment shots to the leg and face that proved very valuable in the 3rd and 4th rounds. Plus you could see in the 4th that even tho khalil was almost done he didn’t rush nor overextended any strike, it has a masterful performance.
    Now all that is left is Ankalaev. Tbh this fight is very dangerous for Alex, but at the same time we know that he has been improving his grappling plus the dude is very strong. This could very well be a quick night for Ank or we could be really impressed by Alex defensive wrestling skills. I doubt Ank will strike with Alex and forget his grappling like he did against Jan (Ank only started grappling once jan destroyed both his legs and it costed him the fight). Saying that I really hope Ankalaev loses to rakic. A guy who only fights in Abu Dhabi shouldn’t be champ unless he is box office.

    Khalil wasnt lying when he said he was ready for this moment and prepared for periera. Khalil proved he was ready for the "final boss".. i was rooting for him and sad he came up short. But alex periera is just that guy. Great performance from both guys. Khalil showed guts and skill and poise. And alex showed patience and showed why hes the champion. It wasnt a gas tank why he lost. Periera was destroying his legs. Yes he got tired but periera started figuring him out and proceeded to pick him apart. This was a much more impressive win than alex just getting an early ko

    I agree with your takes. Khalil didn't really gas out, he got beat up because Alex changed his gameplan from a "wait and counter with the left hook" strategy to a "move forward, take the lead with jabs and leg kicks" strategy. Khalil did a really good job blitzing in and out with his hands up so that Alex wasn't able to find the left hook (except 1 time I forget if it was in the 1st or 2nd round he did land it but Khalil took it well). So Alex stopped waiting to counter and became the leader with the jabs and it worked.

And i don't know if you're aware, but takedowns are not a BJJ-only skill. There are plenty of guys who are a tremendous takedown threat while barely having any BJJ at all. Jones outwrestled an Olympic wrestler in Cormier, and his last fight was him taking down and choking out the supposed best guy in the division at the time.
